Windows 2000 server reconfiguration

I have a Windows 2000 server, running Active Directory in its own domain (I inherited this mess). I want to kill Active Directory for now, and move the server to the correct domain. Is there a way I can do this safely, or am I looking at the obligatory rebuild? The other domain is currently an NT 4.0 domain and we aren't looking to migrate to Active Directory for quite some time.

you can do this from going to start run and typing in dcpromo. Just follow the wizard which will guide you through the process. After demoting the server and a few reboots just run dcpromo again if you want to to run ad again on this server or just join the domain. Any questions please contact me
